Junk Shopping
I’m not a shopper.
Mike might think differently!
Heading out to buy clothes, shoes, groceries…ugh!
Junk Shopping….
I’m there!
and I’m there…
for hours!
This last Saturday was Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market in Scottsdale.
In Arizona it’s hard to find vintage goodness. When you do find a great chippy old window, or old barn wood you’re going to pay quite a bit.
That’s why I like the aging wood technique so much. I can’t find old wood easy so I make it.
Wonder if I could make a pie from these pumpkins?
Now you know why I don’t have a cooking blog!
I love everything about this light…except the price {$175} that vintage style bulb right along to the twisty cord!
I’m not sure if the vendors were thinking this, but I’ve always wanted to set up a “fireplace” with an old desk. Fun idea for anyone without a fireplace and no jigsaw to make one.
The dreamy piece
This was my personal favorite item!!!!! This table was sold! Didn’t find out the price. My phone camera doesn’t show all its beauty. The table top was absolute perfection.
More cool junk stuff
I’m not a lacey kind of gal, but I thought this was a cute idea.
This display piece was not for sale…but I could make this! What I would do with it I’m not sure….hum! Any ideas??
This I’m making! An old cabinet door with a pocket!
I almost bought this {$28} But decided I would make one rustic!
If you follow me, you know I love spindles. These are spindles on steroids!
Would make an incredible entry table!
Hey! I started a trend! Check out my scrap heart.

jeanette i knew it was the ginormous spindle also….but please tell me what in the heck was that $28 thingy? i keep looking and i can’t figure it out and my feet dont hurt but my butt does ha ha xx
Chris, I do love a spindle! The $28 thing was a lantern candle holder. The line to buy was l~o~n~g so I decided I would make one…someday! The Junk in the Trunk was almost twice as large as last year. The next one is May and I’m already planning the trip. 🙂 ~Jeanette
Hi Jeanette, I know exactly what you wound up adding to the pile, the spindle on STEROIDS! You are too funny! I would be a fool to leave that beauty behind, for someone else to give it a home. Great find!!
Can’t wait to see what you’re going to do with the rest, but as usual, it will be awesome and inspiring!
Thanks for sharing the hunt!
Blessings!
Yolanda, thanks for coming along on the junk shopping spree! I’m sure everything will be showing up at sometime around here. ~Jeanette
